Strangler Fig Orchestrator Skill

Orchestrates the strangler fig pattern implementation for gradual migration from legacy to modern systems with traffic routing and cutover management.

Purpose

Enable incremental migration for:

• Traffic routing configuration
• Feature flag management
• Gradual cutover orchestration
• Rollback coordination
• Legacy component sunset

Capabilities

1. Traffic Routing Configuration

• Configure API gateway rules
• Set up routing weights
• Handle header-based routing
• Manage path-based routing

2. Feature Flag Management

• Create feature flags
• Control rollout percentage
• Manage user segments
• Handle A/B testing

3. Gradual Cutover Orchestration

• Plan cutover phases
• Execute incremental shifts
• Monitor health metrics
• Coordinate teams

4. Rollback Coordination

• Define rollback triggers
• Automate rollback
• Preserve state
• Document recovery

5. Progress Tracking

• Track migration progress
• Monitor adoption rates
• Report on status
• Visualize timeline

6. Legacy Component Sunset

• Plan decommissioning
• Verify no traffic
• Archive data
• Clean up resources
